Full Disclosure - this was an unedited, pre-release Goodreads win.
This is book 3 in the "Me Before You" trilogy. Not sure if there will be another one in the series. This book picks up Louisa's (Lou) story after she stops caring for Will Traynor and dealing with her emotions and feelings afterward. It continues with her relationships built from the previous book, "After You". In this book, Louisa reunites with Nate in New York working for a wealthy family as an assistant to the wife. She discovers that, while this life in NY is totally different than her life in England, she really enjoys it but misses home and her family. She is seeing everyone around her (both in NY and England) moving on with their lives and, by the end of the book, it is her time to move on.

I'm struggling between giving this a 6 or a 7. I settled on 7 because it's not necessarily entertaining, but 100% thought provoking. Some of the metaphorical journeys were difficult to unravel, but the allegorical shaping of the tale set in post Arthurian England was intriguing. I found that once I started the novel, I had to find out how it ended no matter what.

Early noughties (2003?) Rowan Atkinson vehicle, with Atkinson portraying the only spy England has left following a bombing - probably the most inept of spies there is. Imagine James Bond. Now imagine everything he did went wrong.
You've more or less got Johnny English.
Also starring Natalie Imbruglia and John Malkovich, the plot of this takes in stolen Crown Jewels, Johnny's attempts to regain them, and a coronation.

Joe Goodhart (27 KP) rated Lady Mechanika, Vol. 3: The Lost Boys of West Abbey in Books

Quite an improvement over the previous volume! I could actually feel the grime and coal soot from the streets of Victorian England! It had a Dickens feel to it, with some darker, steampunk aspects to it! It was good enough to maintain my interest for the entirety of it, as well as keeping me on board for the new volume, LA DAMA de la MUERTE!

Shinwell Jackson and the gang SPK.
That's the main through-line (for want of a better word) of this season of CBS's modern interpretation of Sherlock Holmes, still set in the States instead of in England, and with Johnny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu still in the joint lead roles of Sherlock and Watson.
Basically, it's become the televisual equivalent of comfort food by this point.
